Saxon

Graham Oliver, Saxon's guitarist, started out in the South Yorkshire mining town of Mexborough, taking in gigs by Steve Winwood and Spencer Davies before being blown away by the master himself - Jimi Hendrix. "I was so young, it went right over my head, but I remembered the imagery." Teaching himself to play on a Rosetti SG3, Oliver was part of the nascent Saxon.
